Sauteed spinach and pasta

Short cut meals are essential for me today -- even more so healthy ones! I'm going to keep a running list here of some of our go to's....

Sauteed spinach and pasta is a super fast and very healthy easy meal!  To make it — take half a packet of spinach (I buy pre-washed Organic Girl) and saute it in olive oil and some garlic for 4-5 minutes until just wilted.  Meanwhile cook any healthy pasta of choice.  Once the spinach is cooked, pour in one jar of sauce and add the drained cooked pasta to the pan.  Stir up until warm and voila.... top with a little shaved parmesan.  If I have fresh basil I like to top pastas with some of that roughly chopped too... Enjoy!  Pics of each step below to show JUST how easy this is... my favorite sauce is Rao’s but this is another I grabbed on sale that’s also all real ingredients and no added sugar (the tomato sauce trap!)

Statin free success story!

Image
In my intro post I mentioned my husband Frank’s sky high cholesterol as one motivator for even cleaner living. Well it’s about 3 months later and he had his bloodwork rechecked. We both expected minimal change and maybe hoped at best for a slight improvement since we were trying to do it without prescription statins and were told by his doctor when it’s that high and it’s “genetic” that it rarely moves much without medicine.   When the nurse called saying the results showed “excellent improvement” and that the doctor said to “keep taking Crestor” my husband had to correct her and clarify that he never got the prescription filled and he’s only been adjusting diet, exercise, and lifestyle.  Despite his doctor’s doubts we opted to give natural ways of treatment a try for a few months and also added Nature’s Made plant based statin that was recommended in a healthy minded group I’m in (pic below.)     Well....I am literately blown away that in just 3 months he could...

Is peloton worth the hype

Image
I love to share about things I find and love - especially within the community of healthy minded moms.  So with great fanfare, I want to share a bit about what I think is my absolute favorite purchase of the last year.... my Peloton bike.  The Peloton name has been in the headlines a lot lately - from the marketing scandal to the volumes of people flocking to their bikes and treadmills with gyms out of commission.  Well I’m here to give you my take on the Peloton experience and if it's all it’s cracked up to be. I’m only six-ish months in as a bike owner but O.M.G. I’m going to pause... and say it again... OMG. I love my bike. I’ve never been shy to shell out some bucks for workouts or anything fitness-y but even I balked at spending $2500 ish on a bike, not to mention the $40 ish/month subscription to get all the classes and features.  We actually took the plunge just before COVID broke (and luckily escaped the month long waitlists now for people ordering!)  Fi...

Who, what... why!?!?

The idea behind this blog has been growing over the last few years and we'll see where it goes.  While I'm not sure how "clever" I am, "clean mama" was already taken from - surprise - a cleaning blogger.  From the time of my first pregnancy (or to some degree throughout my whole life!) I have found myself on an unplanned journey to "clean things up" in all senses of the word.  As I've navigated pregnancy, breastfeeding and now raising two little guys in a world overrun by parenting tips, mom blogs and product overload, it's blown me away how PRETTY.MUCH.EVERYTHING can be a source of harmful toxins.  I'm being slightly dramatic of course but striving for cleaner living for my family sometimes seems like an uphill battle.  I certainly don't do it perfectly and I don't do it all the time.  Yes my toddler eats Chik fil a nuggets from time to time (as do I!) and, yes, my infant plays some with Baby Einstein and Skip Hop branded toys....
